Massage is a great treatment option for people with chronic pain!

Chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic myofascial pain syndrome, while displaying different symptoms and prescribed different treatments both greatly benefit from regular massage, leading to a better quality of life.

Weekly massage helps improve functional mobility and flexibility, improves blood circulation, can help balance muscle tension resulting in improved posture and can aid in improving sleep patterns and reducing stress. It can be used as a complimentary treatment along with things like medication, physical therapy, mindfulness and breathwork. The benefits are great and the risks are very limited.
